Faced with her man’s strong possessiveness, Ye Lingyue was on the verge of tears.

Of course, she wouldn’t think that Situ Nan had taken a fancy to her.

Just because for convenience, Ye Lingyue, like in Huangquan City, had done some disguise on her face.

This happened after the Bo Qing incident, that brat Di Shen badgered her to compromise.

Besides darkening her face, she also made slight alterations to her facial features, making her look like a charcoal head and of a type that could be easily overlooked on the street.

In comparison to someone like Luo Yi, she was far less attractive, and it seemed only an idiot like Di Shen, in love, would ******** assume his wife would be turned into a ball, get noticed, and risk being whisked away if he’s not careful.

"Thank you for the hospitality of the City Lord’s Mansion. I am Di Shen, and this is my wife, Ye Lingyue. We’ve just arrived in Gold City and are planning to join the City Lord’s Mansion. It’s wonderful to have Lord Situ’s favor. If you don’t mind, my wife and I can join the mansion today." Di Shen replied confidently.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Di Shen was clear-headed despite his jealousy, allowing them to blend into the City Lord’s Mansion legitimately.

Wife?

Situ Nan and the others were quite surprised by Di Shen’s terminology.

Although Senior Sister Wan Yun and others knew that Di Shen and Ye Lingyue were lovers, with Di Shen constantly calling her wife, this was the first time they heard such a formal address.

They glanced at Ye Lingyue, smirking, while Ye Lingyue awkwardly poked Di Shen, who then pulled her into his embrace, showing a loving expression.

As for Situ Nan and others, they were baffled at how such a handsome and impressive man like Di Shen married a woman of such ordinary looks, unless she had some extraordinary ability.

However, Situ Nan’s interest in Ye Lingyue grew even stronger.

He was more convinced that Ye Lingyue might, like Luo Yi, possess a mutated Power of Reincarnation, making such individuals more suitable for being refined into Spirit Puppets.

"So you two are Dual Cultivation Couple, truly enviable. The City Lord’s Mansion welcomes you. Seize the day, why don’t you both come with me to the mansion today, I’d love to hear about how you tackled the Vajra Formation." Situ Nan warmly invited as he spoke, inviting Ye Lingyue and Di Shen to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Lingyue and Di Shen exchanged a few words with Senior Sister Wan Yun and others before conversing pleasantly with Situ Nan and heading to the City Lord’s Mansion together.

Throughout, Luo Yi, who was with Situ Nan, didn’t say a single word.

At night, Situ Nan hosted a banquet to entertain Di Shen and Ye Lingyue.

During the banquet, Situ Nan repeatedly probed them about their experience facing the Vajra Formation.

Di Shen had a prepared strategy. He first claimed to have a Five Spirits Nirvana Body and mentioned that with Ye Lingyue’s medical skills, they managed to find flaws in the Vajras, repeatedly fending them off. Unfortunately, one among the Eighteen Vajras was particularly formidable, and no matter how Di Shen tried, he couldn’t find any flaws, resulting in a stalemate.

"Therefore, we managed to hold out for six hours without defeat but couldn’t truly pass the Vajra Formation. It’s quite a pity. I hope to attempt it solo again when my strength improves." Di Shen spoke flawlessly, eliciting silent pride from Situ Nan.

What a joke, it was his creation, second only to Luo Yi, his most prized Spirit Puppet.

After obtaining the Puppet Book, Situ Nan learned to refine Human-shaped Soldiers and Spirit Puppets, but among all his creations, only Xue Zhong and Luo Yi could be called true Spirit Puppets.

The rest were merely walking corpses, best described as soldiers.

He doubted anyone could defeat his pride and joy.

"By the way, earlier Di Shen mentioned he has a Five Spirits Nirvana Body, but what Reincarnation power does Madam Di cultivate? It doesn’t appear to be an ordinary Reincarnation power." Situ Nan asked, eyes burning as he stared at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue only reacted after a while, realizing that Madam Di referred to her.

Vexed, she glared at Di Shen, who grinned cheerfully.

Di Shen found the title Madam Di pleasing to the ear. Determined by this subtle address, he decided he wouldn’t torment Situ Nan next time; he’d let him die swiftly.

"Lord Situ has good eye power. I cultivate the Power of Heaven and Earth." Ye Lingyue understood Situ Nan’s intent.

The Puppet Book mentioned that the success rate of refining ordinary puppets (Human-shaped Soldiers) and Spirit Puppets differs; the stranger one’s constitution, the higher the chance of a Spirit Puppet being formed.

Luo Yi was targeted because she cultivated a mutated Reincarnation Thunder Power.

"Power of Heaven and Earth?"

Situ Nan was puzzled; he’d never heard of such a power in his long life.

Yet it sounded like a high-level Primordial Power.

Ye Lingyue seemed to want to explain further, but suddenly she held her forehead and leaned back, the cup in her hand falling to the ground, her face flushed red.

"Lord Situ, my wife can’t handle alcohol; she seems a bit intoxicated. Could you arrange for the young lady beside you to accompany her to rest? Meanwhile, I’ll stay with you for a few more drinks." Di Shen, apologetic, supported Ye Lingyue.

"No problem, if Madam Di isn’t good with alcohol, let her rest early. We can discuss the Power of Heaven and Earth another day." He thought that with them in the City Lord’s Mansion, they couldn’t escape.

"Luo Yi, accompany Madam Di to rest; she’ll be in the third courtyard to the south." Situ Nan instructed Luo Yi to lead Ye Lingyue away.

Luo Yi acknowledged and escorted Ye Lingyue out.

Once out of the banquet hall, Ye Lingyue activated Cauldron Breath, instantly dispersing the alcohol in her body.

She hadn’t drunk much; she pretended to be drunken to privately meet Luo Yi.

"Luo Yi, do you still recognize me?"

Ye Lingyue turned and held Luo Yi’s hand.

Luo Yi looked up, her gaze cold, viewing Ye Lingyue like a stranger.

"Madam Di, of course, I recognize you. Lord Situ asked me to escort you to your courtyard to rest."

"I am Ling Yue, Ye Lingyue, who joined Lonely Moon Sea with you and participated in the assessment with you and Huang Jun. Don’t you remember at all?"

Ye Lingyue cautiously observed Luo Yi’s expression.

However, to Ye Lingyue’s disappointment, Luo Yi’s face remained indifferent. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
